I was falsely sold a real leather sofa. It turned out to be a fake "bonded-leather", which started peeling with time. They charged an additional £50 delivery fee which wasn't disclosed on purchase. I also fell for their "platinum insurance" scam, which was a third of the cost of the sofa itself. The worst part, when I needed to make a claim for pet damage (fully covered in the policy documents by the way), they refused my claim and it is impossible to contact them to dispute. Do yourself a favour and avoid this company.

It's a shame you hAve to give them 1 star as this company doesn't even deserve that.We spent £1200 on a super King divan with headboard at the Gloucester store 11 months ago,after 4 months the mattress was dipping,due to covid we were unable to get anyone out to look at it until a few weeks ago.The X manager of Gloucester store plus an Independent guy inspected the mattress,and concluded there was no defect it was within manufacturers guidelines.There is clearly an issue with the mattress but the reason for my review is that the aftercare service from this company is appalling ,the sales staff in store are pleasant enough but there is no after care what so ever.Any guarantee they give isn't worth the paper it is written on before you purchase anything from this company please be aware if anything goes wrong they don't give a damn and they will fob you of by directing you to the furniture ombudsman!!! Absolutly disgusting .....

Ordered furniture before christmas 19. We had old suite removed(same size) they couldn't get the new one in??? So had a replacement sofa that split, no one told me of this option at point of purchase, or wouldve had it, incase of problems. Had to pay another £500 on top . Should've arrived a week after lockdown. Now we have to wait until at least end of July. Been delivery already. We must be back of queue and delivering all the new buyer stuff first. Most expensive suite, disgusted with customer care. Money is more important to them. It seems.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY if you want your furniture, in my case a bed and 2 mattresses, delivered within a reasonable timescale. The front of my invoice said delivery within 6 weeks. However, had I read the reverse of the invoice, as a very insolent assistant pointed out, it states that a further 4 weeks is not considered unreasonable. Well, when you are sleeping on a sofa it is bloody well unreasonable. When I was eventually told my order was ready for delivery the earliest date was another 8 days away and when I asked for a Friday delivery slot I was told oh, we only deliver every third Friday. The mattresses were for my grandchildren's bunk beds and I got so desperate I ordered some from Amazon which were delivered next day but now I will be lumbered with 2 single mattresses I no longer need or want and which I have had to pay for because AHF do not accept cancellation for any reason whatsoever outside the cooling off period. Having read other reviews about shoddy and faulty merchandise I'm dreading what is going to come through the door next week. I bitterly regret using this company.

If I could give a 0 star rating for the after sales customer care I would. This company have been appalling. Sent out 2 lots of VERY faulty furniture, had a battle since october last year to get money back...finally got it yesterday. They never call when say they will. Get passed from person to person all the time and nobody,even the customer care team leader wouldn't accept that the furniture was faulty and sort it out.... and I'm talking ripped material, pulls, cushions not even fitting the sofa.. and only 1 person ever apologised for the hassle that we have had, and that was a lady instore. We rang customer services as soon as it had been delivered on both occasions. They REALLY need to learn about customer rights and the law and def need better customer service training.

Bought 2 "Superb quality marble tables". Spent a small fortune. They turned out not to be Superb quality marble, but poor quality marble effect... Complaint raised and quickly dismissed after a independant specialist, (supplied by AHF), deemed there to be no issues, and that the clearly printed effect, and the way the pattern peels off was completely normal for marble. Trading standards now involved. Say no more. Avoid.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Ordered my sofa 3/2/19 expected delivery date mid May. After several phone calls (mostly by me) it was delivered 16/8. It was damaged and noticed by the fitter. By this point I’d had enough and asked for my money back. It took 3 letters, the last one threatening court action before it was finally resolved on 2/11. Disgusting customer service, no communication by management. I’m now waiting for my order from dfs. Will never use again and strongly recommend no one else does

Don’t bother, I brought a new bed had to wait a month for delivery the bed had been in situ for just 2 weeks, when the sides of the mattress collapsed on both sides after waiting a couple of weeks I had to phone the store for a second time as the after sales team haven’t been in touch I was given head office phone number which I rang I was asked to send photos which I did after waiting again for about a week I rang again and was told I had to wait for the repairs dept to get in touch a few days later an appointment was arranged When the rep turned up late (no apology) as soon as he walked into the bedroom and said oh. Yeah it’s totally collapsed then sat on the edge of the bed to write his report and take photos of the bed but got distracted halfway through and slouched back on the bed and started taking pictures of my pictures on the wall saying he liked them as he left he said I should have no problem getting the mattress replaced I rang head office a week later and was told his report said it wasn’t a manufacturing problem and it’s my fault for no rotating the mattress (only been slept on for a week) then was told that’s the end of the matter so do your self a favour stay away

Absolutely appalled by the low standard of customer service at AHF Hayes. I was reluctant to buy from there in the first place having read bad reviews about the aftercare, however after being reassured by the sales advisor, we decided to go ahead. We ordered several pieces of furniture at the end of June 2019, having been told it would take 3 weeks to be delivered. Having looked at the paper work, it said 4 weeks for delivery instead. As the 3 weeks approached, we had to call AHF to ask what was happening with our delivery, as we had heard nothing, only to be told they were experiencing problems and that they would call back. They never did. Once again we called back, to be told this time that the warehouse was closed over the summer and that we'd have to wait for another 3 weeks! No one told us the warehouse closed to start with. If we had known, we would have gone elsewhere? We awaited an update - and again received no communication so had to call AHF ourselves for the third time – the response was: ‘oh, we’re sorry, we don’t have an answer yet…’ and then offered to call us back again, which they did this time, to organise a delivery time… before the 4 weeks delay buffer they have in their agreement. Anyone who buys from AHF, please make sure you read the small print at the back of the agreement. If AHF overgo the delivery date in your agreement papers by more than 4 weeks, they offer a compensation payment of £50? If your delivery is delayed by less than 4 weeks (even to the day)… or shall I say, it appears if they contact you before the 4 weeks, to make a delivery they are protected... however it almost comes across as if they use this 4 week buffer as an excuse for not sticking to promised delivery dates, leading to shoddy customer service. Please note, the delay is a pain, but it was more the laxidaisical and nonchalant behaviour of customer services and the apparent lack of communication between the customer services team and the sales team in the store that led to this disappointing customer experience. The onus seems to and with the customer to get to the bottom of these issues. They have said we can’t get a refund now – let’s see if our delivery actually arrives on Monday, after 8 weeks of waiting. Despite having lovely furniture, I will never buy from AHF again and will also recommend others not to either. If you are going to spend that amount of money, then decent customer service is non-negotiable.

Appalling service, do not use. ordered 3 bedrooms carpets, after 3 months still not fitted. finally after phoning their call centre 3 times I get a fitting date, by, I must say a very rude customer service agent. on day of fitting, I phone up the call centre to find out where the fitter is, to be told it had been cancelled!! house upside down, and we'd cancelled a weekend away to be at home. was told they had tried to contact me, but no message left at all to tell me it was being cancelled. I am not a mind reader. as you can expect following 3 months of chasing them, p*@s poor service, no communication, catalogue of just utter incompetence, I will never buy from AHF Peterborough again.

Atrocious Service Atrocious service. Ordered settee in April 2019. Informed it was being quality checked on 15 July 2019. No contact whatsoever from AHF after that and still waiting for delivery. I emailed via the website for an update and did not receive a response. I have made daily phone calls since 9 August 2019 but still do not have a delivery date. The responses to the phone calls have been very uninterested and unhelpful, particularly Phoebe. Each time I have been told someone will call back, including Craig, Customer Services Manager but I have not once received a call back. I would not recommend at all.

Had problems with wrong wardrobe doors took month to rectify, then when they did come they was damaged!! Fitters was very good and helpful. Also purchased the extra insurance and tried to claim s the leather has scuffed and spreading on the sofa only for our claim to be refused even though we was told no matter what happens they replace if they can’t fix. Would advise everyone to steer clear!!!

Disgusted. Farcical service. Waited 6 months, then they messed up the credit contract creating another 8-day delay. They are now delivering at 7am. After receiving a text message informing me they may deliver up to an hour and a half before this I called. Ridiculous admin staff who kept repeating, 'Nothing I can do other than change the delivery day which will incur another charge.' Probably have to wait another 6 months for delivery. I'm furious! I hate this company, never again!

We purchased a corner sofa suite on January 8th this year. When we went into the showroom we immediately knew which sofa, sat down with a lovely sales person and bought it. We also took the insurance and were assured on more than one occasion that dog damage is all included, I even asked bluntly if my dog ate the sofa would it be covered, the salesperson told me yes! Absolutely! We were delighted. We put down the deposit and that's where the trouble started... The printer wasn't working... No problem, we will come aback in and sign in a few days and sign it, these things happen. Oh and it will be 14 weeks... Not great but OK, would have been nice to be told before. So my husband went back in, signed on the computer. The printer didn't work again and we received no paperwork, no key facts etc for the insurance. We were assured that the sofa would be delivered at the start of April. April came and went and no sofa. We called, we got fobbed off with the sofa being ready or missing deliveries and anyway it's not late yet! They have 14 weeks plus 4 extra to deliver in. We should have cancelled at that point but I liked the sofa and I'm not easily irritated so we waited. We called numerous times and each time my husband and I became more and more frustrated. The customer care team don't care at all! We still have no sofa 6 months later just constantly being sent round the houses. All you get is excuses and hassle with hostile people. I would like to say that the manager of the store is lovely and has tried really hard throughout. I would not recommend to anyone ever. I have never received such disgraceful service. I hope my sofa will be decent quality when they get here! If they ever get here!

My wife and I weren't very impressed by our first experience of AHF in Northampton. We ordered two sofas from AHF in the middle of September and they were finally delivered on the 26th November - over two months later. I was actually called on 16th November to say our sofas were at last ready for delivery but they were unable to deliver them that week despite my wife giving them an ultimatum to deliver or cancel. During those two months we were told on more than one occasion that the sofas had missed their delivery. I was called by the manager a couple of weeks ago who seemed to be completely unaware of the situation. He also told me that the delay was due to the furniture makers being unable to get hold of the material required to make our sofas. Our old sofas were then collected by the British Heart Foundation and we had to move the furniture from our conservatory into the lounge until the new sofas arrived. Our lounge had been completely redecorated for some weeks previous in readiness for the new sofas. There was a distinct lack of communication from AHF about this matter and what felt like a lack of commitment to put the situation right. They promised a £50 refund due to the time it took to deliver the sofas to us but having deferred the payment for twelve months, I'm not sure if and when this will materialise. This is the first time we've used AHF and it will almost certainly be the last. Poor customer service and a series of excuses didn't make it an experience we want to repeat... 26/01/17 I haven't seen our £50 refund materialise in any way. We've contacted them again about the furniture as it seems a small hole is now present in one of the large cushions that we sit on. Customer service again hasn't been great. A replacement is apparently on it's way. 25/06/19 Why my wife decided to go back to AHF is beyond me. They have just delivered our new furniture for our conservatory. We told them about our previous experience and they assured us it wouldn't happen again. That is was safe to assume all would be ok this time. Well it isn't. They've delivered a sofa and a chair to our house. The sofa is a chaise with an extending footstool. They have not delivered the feet for that part of the sofa. The delivery man took pictures and has sent it to the customer service of AHF. I have looked around the chair and found that whoever wrote the date on a label on the chair has been rather careless and marked the chair in blue ink. It's a tiny mark but I noticed it immediately. There is also a dirty stain on the cushion as well. It is a white chair so it's clearly noticeable. I wouldn't be surprised if we find more things wrong with the furniture once we've had a good look over it. Hopefully this will be the last time we use them. More shoddy service from AHF. Not impressed.
